1 John 4:7-16

7BelovedG27, let us loveG26 oneG240 another: for loveG26 isG1510 of GodG2316; and every oneG240 that loveth isG1510 begottenG1080 of GodG2316, and knoweth GodG2316. 8He that loveth not knoweth not GodG2316; for GodG2316 isG1510 loveG26. 9Herein was the loveG26 of GodG2316 manifestedG5319 in us, that GodG2316 hath sentG649 his onlyG3439 begottenG3439 SonG5207 into the worldG2889 that we might liveG2198 through him. 10Herein isG1510 loveG26, not that we lovedG25 GodG2316, but that he lovedG25 us, and sentG649 his SonG5207 to beG1510 the propitiationG2434 for our sinsG266. 11BelovedG27, if GodG2316 so lovedG25 us, we alsoG2532 oughtG3784 to loveG25 oneG240 another. 12No man hath beheld GodG2316 at any timeG4455: if we loveG26 oneG3762 another, GodG2316 abideth in us, and his loveG26 isG1510 perfectedG5048 in us: 13hereby we knowG1097 that we abideG3306 in him and he in us, because he hath givenG1325 us of his SpiritG4151. 14And we have beheld and bearG3140 witnessG3140 that the FatherG3962 hath sentG649 the SonG5207 to be the Saviour of the worldG2889. 15Whosoever shall confessG3670 that JesusG2424 isG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, GodG2316 abideth in him, and he in GodG2316. 16And we knowG1097 and have believedG4100 the loveG26 which GodG2316 hath in us. GodG2316 isG1510 loveG26; and he that abideth in loveG26 abideth in GodG2316, and GodG2316 abideth in him.
